Hi everyone! The LPM blog is going to be on hiatus for a few days while the Moore-Jones clan attempts to travel to the ranch for the weekend. I say “attempts” because I am so nervous about the traffic! My parents were already planning on going and we have decided to join them in view of Hurricane Ike heading this way. FYI, LPM and all our staff are located a safe distance from the coast, but the danger for those of us on this side of town, assuming it hits close to Houston, will be high winds. I think most people are riding it out. Everyone on the Texas coast appreciates your prayers. We love you girls and we’ll be back soon!
Love,
Amanda
PS – Bible study went great! We are really excited about our group. Thanks for praying on Tuesday!
I have been thinking about y'all all week. I've been checking the blog constantly for an update. Stay safe, and have fun! From what I saw during the whole Edouard thing, y'all know how to have fun during one of these things.
♥ & prayers,
Andreea
praying the Lord keeps you safe!
hey, you can all come to the mitten state for the weekend and we’ll put you all up, dogs and all! the air cool with a crispness in the air, low humidity and not a cloud in the sky. perfect pre-fall weather.
seriously, may you, all and those you know be protected from ike. rest in our loving all knowing all powerful Lord. ~janel
I am praying for you all today as you travel. I pray also that God blesses your time together this weekend. And then continued prayers for all that are in the path of the storm. ((hugs))
Having the Moores and Joneses in Houston, I feel like I have family there! I have thought of you each time they’ve shown Ike on the tv. We will keep praying for peace and safety for your family, the LPM staff as well as everyone else in path of this storm. As powerful as Ike appears to be, our God is more powerful! May He be with you.
Glad to hear that you are going…was listening to the radio this morning about the hurricane and was worried about you all. Stay safe sweet friends….look forward to hearing back from you later!
Stay safe in the Lord, Ladies. We’ll miss you…
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I live at the beach in South Carolina, and vividly remember weathering Hurricane Hugo with a 4-month old baby (now a college sophomore!) Do evacuate, as we were required to do. We lost our business in that storm, and many friends lost their homes. All can be rebuilt – take the fam photos and your sweet babies and go have fun with your parents! Xoxo

Stay safe! I may be crazy, but I am actually heading to Texas today. I won’t get any further south than Dallas, but my travel home on the weekend could be interesting with all the rain and wind that will inch northward after Ike hits. Praying all will stay safe!
Oh, may Jesus continue to bring peace to all of these storms. There have been so many this season but none of them terribly bad. May He continue to look upon us with favor and protect the areas involved. I’m praying for you all in Texas.
Amanda, Beth and all my Houston Siestas,
I am sending out prayers for y’all. I am also praying for my husband’s family who all live in Houston area from League City Pearland and west Houston up to Lake Livingston.
May God put his hedge of protection around all of you and keep you safe.
Namaste,
Mary Ann in Woodbury, MN
Be safe! God’s Mighty hand protect all those in Ike’s path!
Praying in Arkansas….
Praying for you and others family members in the Houston area!
May God’s hedge of protection be around you, all the LPM staff and all in the path of the storm!
Praying for you and your family and all who are down there!
May God bless you and keep you safe!
You will be in my prayers!
Love,
Heather
My sister lives down there and is also in the process of evacuating as we speak. Take care – praying for y’all.
I saw the size of that thing this morning and immedietely was concerned for you guys. Glad to hear you have a safe place to go, although there’s at least a couple hundred of us who would gladly put you up. Our prayers are with you and for your state.
Thanks for the update. I have been praying for all of you this morning as I watched Ike updates
Have already been praying for safety for the Moores and Jones and all of the Texas residents who are in the path of Ike.
Let us know when you’re all back and accounted for. Already been praying. I even told my husband that I might have to head to Houston if Beth needs help! Take care.
We’re praying for the safety of you and all the gulf coast residents who are in the path of Ike.
Praying for all of you!! For safe travel and a fun time. Praying also for all in Texas and Louisiana that once again have to evacuate and also for those that don’t evacuate.
Blessings,
Bible Bunny in No MI
Be safe!
Praying in Missouri…
Amanda, Beth and all of Texas,
Praying the Creator’s compassion and protection that Ike will not wreak the havoc predicted.
Stay safe and be careful!
Love to all
As a Charleston, SC girl living about 5 miles from the coast, I know what you’re going through… never know if you’ll be at home or on the road evacuating some storm from June to November!! Anyway, you and your family will be in my prayers.
Praying His protection for you all! Stay safe!
Blessings
Michelle
Praying for your safety and for everyone in the line of Ike. I saw on the internet this morning a photo of a statue in Corpus Christi Bay, of Jesus with His arms outstretched “calming the storm”. (don’t know if this link will work, but if not maybe you can copy and paste it into your browser to see the photo)

How I pray He will do so once again.
Praying you, and everyone else, will be safe…
Warm in Alaska.
Your family and the LPM siestas are in our prayers! As well as those in the path of the storm. Praying for travels and safety of everyone.
I know the stories of family time will be great. Looking forward to hearing from you when back in town.
Hi Moore family,
I am so glad that Y’all are getting out of harm’s way. I am praying for all of Y’all, and for all my other Houston area friends for safety and peace of mind.
Love in Christ Jesus,

May the Lord keep you safe and your homes as well. I’ll be praying. I also hope that you guys have a wonderful weekend away despite the circumstances. Kim B. in AZ
You guys be careful as you travel to the ranch. You will be on our hearts and in our prayers. Love you all!
Praying in Sparks, Nv.
Yes, yes, yes! I’m praying for you all. In fact, my hubby and son asked me last nite was I worried about my sister, Beth. To which, I replied, “YES!” But, I’m praying to the Master of the wind and seas, and we can believe God!
***Psalm 91***
may we keep our eyes on the One who calms the storms and not the storm itself. Praying in Georgia…
Keeping all of you in my prayers here in North Carolina…..
We’re hunkering down 🙁 KSBJ just played a song that was really encouraging to me:
You are my Shield, my Strength
My Portion, Deliverer
My Shelter, Strong Tower
My very present help in time of need.
Y’all be safe. He IS our strong tower!
Praying for you and that the hurricane will not be as bad as they are predicting. Praying that God will calm the storm!
Have fun on the ranch and will be anxious to hear how you and your staff and the city of Houston wearthered the storm.

Abba Father –
I boldly come before Your throne of behalf of the Moore, Jones, LPM staff, and Texas coast. Lord, please protect them and cover them with your hand from hurricane Ike. In Jesus name. Amen!
Hey, Amanda! I’ve been thinking about you guys all day. I will be praying as you travel. Be safe!
be safe
love you guys
Will be praying for you all!!! Man I cannot imagine being in the way of a hurricane. Good grief!
In Bible study this morning we has a special time of prayer for protection for all in the path of Ike and especially for the LPM family. I pray for peace and protection. Beth, once I heard you say in “Living Beyond Yourself” I’ve got to have peace. Now is a good time to hold on the the truth that it is there. Reach out and claim that . We will be praying for your traveling from your home and then a safe journey back on the congested highways.
Judy
I want everyone who is in the path of Ike to know I’m praying for you.
Love and prayers,
Jessica
Praying for your safe travel and praying for the TX coast!
Bless you all

We are praying for you!
In regards to traffic, plan for the worst, expect the best. Having spent the last 13 years in South Florida ( we are now back in Texas), I can tell you the worst part of evacuating is the stress. When I just relaxed, took my time, and knew that I had plenty of food and water for however long it took us to get there, I was much better. I sometimes have the ability to make things much worse than they actually are. I have decided it a “momma” thing, I was never that way before I was a mom. So it is true, the majority of the battle is won in the mind. I will be praying that God gives you peace!

Being that I lived in San Antone for four years as a child, and that the majority of the ministries that minister to me outside of church are there I no like Ike messing (with anyone) with Texas either. May God place a protectivehedge around all who are in the path of this storm. I am also praying he weakens it as Hhe so graciously did for us here in Virginia with Tropical Storm Hannah. Stay warm and cozy,

I’ve thought about all of you this entire week! Glad your going further away and hoping everything comes out all right. I keep thinking of the song “Higher Ground”..all other land is sinking sand. And yes I know that sounds just awful. =)
